HATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Steamer “Harvest Moon”—'Trial Trip. This new steamer, the product of Portland skill and workmanship, soou to he put upuu the route between this city and the Penobscot, made her trial trip on Saturday last, leaving her wharf at a few minutes past eleven o’clock and returning about twelve. She wcut down the ship chanuel, passed by Fort Preble and Cape Cottage, swept around outside of Bangs’ Island, and returned past White Head and be tween Bangs’ and Peaks’ Island to the city. All onboard spoke of her uncommon steadi ness and, freedom from that tremulous motion so common to all steamers of great motive power. With her machinery all new an* stiff, and with only twenty inches of steam—thirty inch es being her allotted usual amount—the Har vest Moon attained a speed of fourteen knots, and moved with a grace seldom witnessed in such vessels. The trip, in all respect*, was a perfect success. She steers easily, and moves upon the water “like a thing of life.” It is proper to state here, though this vessel has been already described in our columns somewhat in detail, that the Harvest Moon Is almost exclusively the product of Portland skill and workmanship. Her hull was model ed by Mr. C. H. Thurston, and was built by Joseph W. Dyer, Esq. Her boiler was made at the Portland Company’s Works, and is a no ble piece of mechanical work. Her engine, which has a 42 inch cylinder aud ten feet stroke, was built for an ocean steamer which was lost in the Chinese waters. It was taken out, brought to Halifax or some port in that vicinity, purchased by the Portland Company, by whom it was rebuilt and made in every respect as good as new. The power is suffi cient to propel the boat with great velocity. The H. M. will soon be ready for her route. She is a trifle smaller than the Daniel Web ster, but is scarcely iuferior in her capacity or her accommodations for passengers. Her cabins, state rooms, bridal rooms, water clos ets,—indeed all her arrangements, are as per fect as the best ideas of convenience coaid sug gest. When her painting and gilding are - completed, her carpets and curtains in place, and her furniture and other appointments are board, on she will be a vessel worthy of the route, and will afford a gratifying evidence of what may be done in our own city in this line of construction. Her carpets aud drapery will be prepared and put in by Mr. Wm. W. Davis, whose good taste was exhibited iu fitting up tbe Kew England, and who perforins ail such offices for the boats of the Portland and Bos ton line. Under the command of Capt. Rolx, long and favorably known as chief pilot of the Webster, we predict for the Harvest Moon a successful future. We regret that our unac quaintance with other officers, with engineers, owners, and the various parties who have con tributed to make this boat what she is, forbids that we should speak of them as their fidelity and skill would seem to justify. P. 8.—It will be seen by advertisement that the steamer will make her first trip to the Penobscot to-day, leaving at one o'clock. A Bold Attempt.—One evening last week the wife of one of our citizens, during the ab sence of her husband, heard some one run up the door steps and ring the bell. Knowing that it was not her husband’s ring, she cauti ously opened the door, keeping her foot against it, when she was confronted by a man who endeavored to obtain an entrance. The lady resisted and finally succeeded in closing the door, which fastened Itself with a spring latch. Feeling something warm about her hand she examined it, and found it had been cut with a knife or some sharp weapon; her dress wss also cut just below the waist, making a slit of three or four inches. The knife had penetrat ed through the dress and lining, but did not touch the body. The wound in the band and the slit in the dress were evidently made by the fellow when he was endeavoring to enter the house. The Opera.—The sale of reserved seats for the opera of to-morrow evening was quite brisk at Paine’s music store on Saturday. The performances of Tuesday and Weduesday evenhigs will be the only ones given in this city, as the company is to open in Philadel phia next Monday. Our music-loving com munity must, therefore, seize this opportunity if they wish to etyoy the richest musical re past ever offered here. Such • combination of talent is well worthy of the patronage of Portland, and we hope it will be given in order to induce them to visit our city again. Death of Wm. (Japes.—Iu onr obituary notices this morning will be found the death of this esteemed gentleman. For many years be has been afflicted with a disease known as “painter’s cholic,” and has been deprived of the use of his legs. He lias suffered long and patiently, but is now at rest. His death will be mourned, not only by bis family, but also by the large circle of acquaintances his cheer ful disposition had fathered around him. CyMrs. Manchester, whose advertisement may be seen in our columns tills morning, can be found at the Preble House. She has testi monials of some most astonishing cures per formed by her method of treatment, of the diseases which she advertises to attend to par ticularly. Those who are afflicted with those diseases will lose nothing by calling upon Mrs. M. _ sy Don’t forget the concert at the new i City Hall, in aid of our sick soldiers. You will get your money’s worth in good singing, and at the same time aid our sick meu in camp. We learn that Col. Mason, with the officers and privates of the gallant 7th Maine, now here in camp, will attend the concert with the regimental Band. Ravel Tboupe.—This evening has been set apart by the Ravel Troupe for a compli mentary benefit to the lessee, Mr. J. C. Myers, and it will, positively, be the last perlormance of the company in this city for the present. Mr. Myers deserves a bumper of a benefit for his efforts to amuse the people of this city.

Hall of the 105th Ohio, who, Huding that lie was being attacked by superior uum bers, fell back to a commanding position and sent a courier to Murfreesboro* lor reinforce ments, promising to hold his ground until they arrived. Tart of the cavalry dismounted and attacked our position with impetuosity, but were repulsed at every point. Section llrst of Harris’ battery kept up all this time a most etlective tire. The enemy, enraged at its exe cution, massed their reghnents and charged the battery with hideous yells. The 1st Mis souri regiment, who were lying concealed be hind the battery, waited until the enemy were witliiu 30 yards when they opened a destructive fire, causing them to recoil ami finally to re treat in confusion trom the field, leaving their dead and wounded. Col. Hall's victory was complete before tire reinforcements arrived. Among the rebel killed was one Col., one Capt. and three Lieuts. Our loss was seven killed and 31 wounded. The battle lasted about four hours. FROM NASSAU. The pirate Retribution Condemned Suppression of the Rebellion in St Domingc The Confederate Steamer Georgiana. Capture ol a Blockade Runner. New York.

The Republican’s Memphis despatch of the 20th says advice* from Greenwood to Monday last arc to the effect that tbe guuboat Chilli cothe bombarded Fort Pemberton on Satur day and Sunday without decisive result. The rebel battery is so situated that it cannot be attacked by land force, on account of the high water. The guns of the De Kalb had been taken ashore, and a laud battery constructed near the rebel works. The rebel force is esti mated at 0000 under Gen. Loring. Reinforce ments are being rapidly sent to the seat of op erations, and it is expected that our fleet will soon be able to reduce all the rebel fortifica tions on the Yaioo.

Steamship North Americau, from Portland, arrived at Liverpool early on the 7th. Steamship City of Manchester left Liverpool shortly after the Europa, lor New York. The Europa passed steamship Asia bound in. GREAT BRITAIN. English news is unimportant. The all ab sorbing topic was the entry of Princess Alex andra into London on the day the Europa sailed. Preparations were on an unexampled scale and a brilliant demonstration would take place. The Times asserts that during the whole history of London she has never seen such a day, and the cause of the demonstration is the pride entertained by the nation for the moral eminence of the royal family, raised by the virtues of its head. It was reported that the Confederate loan was to be issued at once as an 8 per cent, stock at 77c. The comments of newspapers on Americau affairs are unimportant. A Washington letter in the Herald asserts that a secret society has been discovered, members of which were sworn to kill Mr. Lincoln. In the House of Commons on the 5th inst., another debate took place. Mr. Cobdeu made a vigorous attack on the general policy of Admiralty in maintaining obsolete vessels, alter the valuable experience furnished by America in favor of iron plated ships. He denounced the policy of maintain ing seaman to man vessels utterly useless for warlike pur|«>ses. Lord C. Paget and Sir Pakington defended their respective administration of Admiralty affairs. Finally all the remainder of the navy votes were agreed to. In the House of Lords on the 6th the Earl of Ilardwieke asked if, in returning the Galway contract it was intended to make any altera tion in the port of departure or destination of Viuunls Lord Stanly said there had been no propo sals of the kind whatever. In the House of Commons, Mr. Bramley Moore moved a resolution regretting tile dis turbance of friendly relations with Brazil, and hoping the government would take honorable means to restore the amity. He denounced the proceedings of the British Minister to Brazil. A general debate followed. Mr. La)aid vindicated the diplomatic action of the government and the resolution was finally withdrawn. The King of Belgium has accepted the arbi tration between Brazil and England. Malta advices say the fever has entirely left Prince Alfred and he is steadily improving. He w ould not be able to atteud his brother's wedding. Bishop Colertso declines the suggestion of his brother Bishops that he should resign. FRANCE. Political news unimportant. Paris Bourse flat and lower. Rentes tjflf 85c. SPAIN. The ministry intend to submit a budget to tlie Cortez in a modified form. The Chambers will not be opened before the first jf April. ITALY. The Pope has refused to accept Antouelli’a resignation. THE POLISH QUESTION. Late advices from Cracow say that Lan gieviez, at the head of 5,(MKj men, had pushed forward, but in what direction was nuknown. INDIA AND CHINA. The India hud China mails reached Suez on the 4th. The steamer Nemesis struck on a rock as she was entering Point De Galle, hut got into the harbor safely though leaking. BRAZIL. There is nothing new as to the anglo-Bra zllian difficulty, which continued to be warm ly canvassed, and had caused a depression iu the trade of Rio Janeiro. There had been an Indian invasion of the frontiers of Buenos Ayres, resulliug in con siderable loss ol properly. {Latest via. Queenstown.] Liverpool, March ~th, evening.—The event of the day ha« been the passage of the Prin cess Alexandra and Prince of Wales through London. The royal squadron left the Nore early In the morning, and arrived at Graves end befote noon. The welcome on lauding there was enthusiastic and brilliant. The par ty reached Loudon at 1.30, and proceeded tow ards the city amid the most iulense excite ment. The enthusiasm was never before equalled iu England. Arrangement* for the Funeral of Gen. Sum ner. Syracuse, March 22. The Common Council and citizeus met last evening to make arrangements for the funeral of the late Gen. Sumner.

Seymour aud to the respective stalls. Movements of General*. New York, March 22. A Cincinnati despatch says Gen. Burnside is expected there to succeed Gen. Wright. The Herald's special Washington despatch says it is staled confidently iu military circles to-night that Gen. lliulzIcmaD will assume the command assigned to Gen. Sumner, and supenwde u«u. Curtis in Uiftsouri. Gen. Sigel, who has withdrawn his resign*- ! tion, is urged by his friends to apply for com- j mand of tiie expedition to Texas. i , .,.1. Marine Disaster. New York, March 21. Ship Wort, from Bordeaux, reports March 8, no iat or Ion., fifteen icebergs in sight, the weather thick and rainy.

It is not i the offer alluded to in the journals a week . ago. That came from England and France, j and was upon the most favorable terms. This offer, which was made on Wednesday upon the most favorabie terms by a distinguished Ger- | man banking house, is under advisement. The offer is to take one hundred millions of dollars worth of bonds at something above par in currency. If accepted, it will of course give the Secretary the control of the exchange market for some time to come. The Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Sun says the offer comes from an agent j of bankers of Amsterdam. He offers a loan of fifty millions in gold, to be deposited at Amsterdam, and to be subject to the draft, of the treasury. Tut plicate Invoices in all Importa tions.—By an act of the last Congress, ap proved Maach 3, 18(13, all invoices of goods imported into the United States after July 18(13, (exccept from beyond the Cape of Good Hope) are to be made in triplicate, and each sworn to before the United States consul or agent abroad. One of these is to be deliver ed to the owuer or agent abroad, one to the cousul for his use, and the third is to be sent by the consul to the collector of the port, for which the goods are destined. The Secretary of the Treasury has author ity, however, to admit goods to entry, when by accident or other cause. It Is impracticable to produce the triplicate invoice. rr-At a_dinner party given in this city in ] the year 1775, a gentleman of considerable no toriety as a wit was asked. “Pray, what is a Tory?” lie replied, “A Tory is a creature whose head is in England, while his body is in America, and I think the two parts ought to be joined by stretching the neck.” We have still persons among us not unlike this descrip tion of the Tory, whose heads are in Itieh inond while their bodies are in New York; and though we might not recommend the old revolutionary wit's plan of bringing the two parts together by stretching the intervening membranes, we should certainly not object to seeing the body sent where the head is.—IN.
